Need a leak-free nice '68 timing cover.

Ours has a pinhole in the casting and pushes coolant into the crankcase. Oddly, it's a casting porosity and looks like it was that way from day one. There is no corrosion on the cover to explain it.

vikki, send me the cover and ill fix it. double the shipping so when im done welding it i can put it back in the box and send it back to you. you know what your getting cause u owned it befor the repair. got an aluminum welder at work. would take 5 minutes. just mark the spot where u need it repaired either on the inside or out. pm me if u want to do so!

due to budget cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been disconnected for non payment.
